Next week Dan Brown’s new book where he shows the Boy Scouts of America are realy and even MORE secrety secret society that is running all the other secret societies. AAAAAND the scouts of even more eeeeevil than the church because they require a belief in God but will not say which one.
And from the New Testament, we have Ephesians 5:11, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
If you are a father, and have children at home, or grandchildren that look up to you, I highly recommend the following sermon.
God's peace.
Your points are valid until you realize they are specifically portraying angels and demons as based on solid fact. They whole premise begins and ends with “church is evil” and goes from there.
On Discovery and History channel they have specific production co sponsored fictionmentaryies portraying this Dan Brown dreck as somehow based on poooooosible, or plaaaaausible information.
This is no different than SNL going after a political figure.
propaganda:
the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person
The Da Vinci Code is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It stinks.
“Dan Browns writing style is atrociously poor”
Wish I could write so many millions of dollars poorly.
Hey, I guess I just did!
Heh, the Law of Unintended Consequences.
The sequel should be a riot: Illuminati in Mayberry.
Opies and Demons: Dark Secrets of the Opie Code
"They" can "portray" anything they want...that's what movies are all about.
Remember Laura Croft in Tomb Raider....quite a portrayal!
Question is: can you get past what they're trying to "sell" you and just enjoy the fictional story?
That's what it is, you know....fiction!
You're still watching SNL????????????????
You've just got to get something else to do....sleeping, reading, eating, mowing the lawn, looking up at the night sky, anything other than SNL!
I’m not a father and I don’t have children at home. My oldest is 50.
I watched the Discovery channels three programs lsat night also:
One on the DaVinci Code, one on the early American Freemasons, and one on Angels and Demons. My observation is that they went to an awful lot of trouble debunking the conspiratorial premises of the three. If they are such obvious fiction, why all the fuss? Just playing Devils advocate here. (pun intended)
Hmm, odd — If ever a movie comes out that said that Ronald Reagan ate Iranian babies, I’m sure you’ll defend it to the hilt.
As long as it has pretty ladies, and lots of high end special effects, a stirring musical score and stars Tom Hanks — it’s okay.
Amazing.
Very good comment. We were forewarned. I don’t let my eyes wonder toward that stuff. Thanks for the sermon link.
just the clips with the real sarah palin, all other SNL is a waste of time. Note recorded, not viewed on tv in a way to give them ratings, just “other ways”.
I agree, SNL as a social comentary has jumped the shark looooooong ago. Weak writing, and stale liberalism of a bitter old woman.
because we are dealing with a society of weak minded pansies who obtain their information from the daily show.
"Reductio ad absurdum"....and also just plain stupid.
But that's OK....proves this place is a fair and objective mouthpiece for even those with very little if any sense.
The book burning (or in your case, film burning) will take place tonite...under the full moon. Bring your robe.
You've hit the nail on the head! In the very beginning, SNL was funny....really funny. Had a superb cast too....then went swiftly downhill when the show (the writers and producers) began to take itself seriously.
Kind of reminds one of M.A.S.H....how very good it was in the beginning....then turned into a one sided diatribe against everything the liberals of the time hated.
What a shame.
Wouldn’t that be a positive development, getting weak minded pansies to develop a skepticism of institutions?
Dan Brown is a very angry alter boy.
